About Perpignan

The history of Perpignan has always been linked to the sea, largely because the Kings of Majorca used the city as their mainland base. With the arrival of the Kings of Majorca a palace was built, which can still be found with its impressive Gothic architecture and gardens dating back to the 13th Century. Alongside the impressive Palace of the Kings of Majorca, the Cathedral at Perpignan is possibly the most famous structure in the city, built in the Catalan Gothic style of the 14th and 15th Centuries the cathedral is famous for its incomplete western walls. Easter is a popular period for visitors when the festival of Sanch Procession is held with local people in black robes being led through the streets of the city in the place of prisoners who were previously led to execution in this once banned religious festival.
